One of the more well received concepts cars at this year’s edition of the Geneva Motor Show, the Pininfarina Cambiano, is being considered for a limited run production.
“We are evaluating the potential for companies and private buyers interested is a high-performance, low-emission luxury model such as the Cambiano,” Pininfarina CEO Silvio Angori told Autonews Europe during the Swiss show.
Angori added that if the Italian company were to build 10 examples of the Cambiano, each one would cost a mind boggling €1 million (US$1.3 million) but if that number rises to 70 to 75 units, then pricing would fall to €400,000 (US$522,000) a piece.
It would take Pininfarina 24 to 30 months to begin production of the Cambiano.
The elegant looking GT that’s a coupe on one side and a saloon with two doors and no central pillar on the other, measures 5,040mm (1.98-in.) long, 2,000mm (78.7-in.) wide and 1,360mm tall (53.5-in.) and features seating for four passengers with a boot capacity of 450-liters.
In concept form, the range-extended electric car is motivated by four-in wheel electric motors delivering a combined output of up to 805hp and 640Nm (472 lb-ft) with a diesel-fueled micro turbine kicking in to generate electricity once the batteries are depleted.
Pininfarina’s CEO said that in the production model would, the company would mostly likely replace the turbine with a conventional, diesel-powered internal combustion engine.
